After 2.3 this seems to be the best main-hand dagger for a level 19 Rogue twink.

Droprate is pretty good so it shouldn't be hard to get.

EDIT: I mean aside from the hard to get Assassins Blade.

true, but then you can put this on off hand and it will still be useful.

Still use it on my lvl 27 rogue, together with Blackfang (i was extremely lucky, i just grouped my friend, and two secs later he dropped it and i won it lol). Rare items are always good for many more lvls. Of course you can get better ones but i like the looks of it and its still strong enough. Definately a good dagger considering the drop rate

Due to the higher strength, agi for crit, and fast speed for more Flametongue hits, this is actually a very underrated leveling weapon for Shaman in this level range. Considering there's no Windfury in the range, weapon speed has less of an effect. Not half bad, though still, it's more for Rogues. Good for PvP too.

Although I'd still say for PvP go with Baron's Scepter or the mace from WC.

you can actually stealth through the instance and solo this tight ass thuderlizard...(i was lvl 23 BTW)

the reason why i even tried to solo this guy is out of the point, so i'll just start with the basic tips...

1. first off, you need to have some basic above average gear to keep up with the dps...it doesn't have to be twink lvl gear but some greens that keeps up to your lvl...having wingblade on your mainhand might be essential

2. specc might not necessarily matter as i was spending points in subtlety tree. worse part, in imp ambush for solo pve :P but ghostly strike may be important for additional dodge percentage

3. lighting breath by this mob tickles mostly, but keep getting beaten by his melee attack is not pretty so pop evasion on the right time (it is hard to explain when the right time is but obviously popping evasion while the mob is casting lighting breath is a terrible idea)

4. prepare couple of healing potions and poisons....like the above comment say, he runs away when he is low on hp, i believe it was around 15% when he ran...(on my first attempt i used both instant poison and got screwed...well...i would have at least lived if vanish worked properly...last time i played WoW was 2-3 years ago and back then vanish being broken was a problem and i guess blizz didn't solve the problem yet....)(on my 2nd attempt i used crippling on one, but never see it proc...don't know if he's immune or i wasn't paying enough attention but i'll use both crippling poison next time...)

5. one slime may be patrolling the area, to even where Skum is...so watch out for him before engaging the fight with Skum

6. as a opener i recommend garrote...my reason for soloing this guy was for the dagger...i was using the quest reward dagger for the harpy killing and even when it crits it's about 250...and garrote damages for 204ish over time......for the combo point i recomment rupture for the DoT so that Skum will die even when he runs away...

7. even so...there is still some luck involved...where Skum runs is also important...when he runs toward the other adds we will still be able to kill and loot him...the problem is using vanish at the right time to avoid dying...

(pretty damn long comment for some stupid tip, eh?)

To all lvl 19 twink rogues:

Skum and Lord Serpentis can be soloed with ease.

For Skum just stealth to his gated area and wait for the patrolling "Evolving Ectoplasm" to make his round. He oozes right by Skum and theres no way you can solo both at the same time. It usually doesn't take any longer than 2-5 mins to pass by. When your fighting Skum just remember to "kick", "gouge" or "arcane torrent" (for blood elves) when he starts casting his lighting bolt. He will start casting one shortly if not instantly after your first attack. Remember to use Evasion as well. Be mindful of the fact that when Skum is down to like 15-20% hp he will run from you. Try to get off a quick backstab and eviserate to finish him off so he doesn't aggro the other mobs. It's cake if you take this advice.

For Lord Serpentis your going to have to range pull him from the area on the edge of the cliff right behind him. There is a serpant mob flying next to him on the left that will aggro if you just attack. His first attack will be a lighting bolt so if you have arcane torrent (blood elves) the best way to do this is by hitting him with it from a couple yards away so hes silenced and has to melee you. I assume that you could gouge from far enough away also but I haven't tried it. He heals himself so try to interupt him while at the same time attempting to keep his lighting bolts interupted as well using the same abilities mentioned in the Skum strat of course. EVASION! Both fights are pretty easy if you do these things.

actually http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1935 would be the best main hand dagger, but its nearly impossible to find on the AH and when you do it will cost an arm and a leg.

Good/Great weapon for Twinks

Comment by Shadoman

This dagger is the best for Ambushes after Assassin´s Blade but its allmost impossebly to get nowdays.But this dagger or any other dagger should never be used for Sinister Strikes, so just use a macro so u switch weapon after u use AmbushBut ofc this dagger can be good ageinst Rouges that pop Evasion (Its not possebly to dodge Backstab)

Comment by Quetzelcoatl

Since the Assassin's Blade nerf in Cata, this has become the best 19 twink non-heirloom dagger.

Comment by xXzCodProxXz

Still remains as one of the best 20 trial offhand AMBUSH daggers......with Dal's as maindon't forget to switch out to 2x Wicked Daggers after ambushing, although.
